HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP process. An HP product that supports the Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) layers. TCP/IP processes are used together with
the communications line interface processor (CLIP) pNA+ to provide the transport layer
between wide area network (WAN) I/O processes and data link control (DLC) tasks,
between ConMgr and the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) task,
between the WANBoot process and BOOTP tasks, and between an OSM or TSM
process and a DIAG task.
HP NonStop™ TCP/IP subsystem. A subsystem that allows the use of HP NonStop
TCP/IP to access an HP NonStop S-series host from Macintosh computers, personal
computers, and UNIX workstations. Applications running on a NonStop S-series
system or in an Expand network can transparently exchange data with NonStop
TCP/IP devices.
HP NonStop™ Transaction Management Facility (TMF). HP software that provides
transaction protection and database consistency in demanding online transaction
processing (OLTP) and decision-support environments. It gives full protection to
transactions that access distributed SQL and Enscribe databases, as well as recovery
capabilities for transactions, online disk volumes, and entire databases.
HP Open System Management (OSM) Interface. Replacement for TSM as the system
management tool of choice for NonStop S-series servers. OSM provides the same
functionality as TSM while overcoming limitations of TSM. OSM is required for support
of new functionality released in G06.21 and later.
HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL). The user interface to the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The TACL product is both a command interpreter
and a command language. Users can write TACL programs that perform complex
tasks or provide a consistent user interface across independently programmed
applications.
HP Tandem Failure Data System (TFDS). A diagnostic tool that is a component of the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. The TFDS tool isolates software problems and
provides automatic processor-failure data collection, diagnosis, and recovery services.
HP Transaction Application Language (TAL). A systems programming language with
many features specific to stack-oriented TNS systems.
hybrid shared run-time library (hybrid SRL). A shared run-time library (SRL) that has
been augmented by the addition of a dynamic section that exports the SRL’s symbols
in a form that can be used by position independent code (PIC) clients. A hybrid SRL
looks like a dynamic-link library (DLL) to PIC clients (except it cannot be loaded at
other addresses and cannot itself link to DLLs). The code and data in the SRL are no
different in a hybrid SRL, and its semantics for non-PIC clients are unchanged.
